Book Description
Excerpt from Asheville City Plan The motive of the City Commission in printing the City Plan for general distribution is that it may be studied by the tax-payers and citizens of Asheville and their purposes toward it determined upon the basis of a full knowledge of the arrangements and changes proposed therein. The City Plan, as prepared by Dr. John Nolen and adopted by the preeding administration, is merely a groundwork of ideas tentatively designed to improve existing situations in Asheville and largely to control the future growth of the city. But the plan is only a plan, we should remember, and its realization or rejection rests in the decisions that public sentiment shall formulate in regard to its utility and desirability as a whole and the practicability of its several parts and details. It is hoped, therefore, that the people of Asheville will most carefully examine and learn the City Plan as presented herein. And from time to time, as matters relating to it are considered by the City Commission and City Planning Commission, expressions of the will of the citizenship of Asheville will be given due hearing and heed. Suggestion from any interested source will cordially be welcomed at all times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Justice in Climate Action Planning
Author: Brian PetersenPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030739392
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This edited volume examines how climate action plans engage justice at the scale of the city. Recent events in the United States make the context particularly ripe for a discussion of justice in urban climate politics. On the one hand, the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement, George Floyd’s death, and the prominence of racial discrimination in the public realm have mainstreamed the notion of justice. On the other hand, the dire consequences of increased frequency and severity of climate events on vulnerable segments of urban populations are undeniable. While some cities have been proactive about integrating justice in their climate action planning, in most places an explicit and systematic link between both spheres has been lacking. This book explores this interface as it seeks to understand how cities can respond to climate change in a just way and for just outcomes. While resilience strategies based on “development” may engage historic inequities, they may at the same time result in marginalizing certain populations through various processes, from mismatched solutions to outright exclusion and climate gentrification. By identifying how certain populations are included in or excluded from climate action planning practices, the chapters in this volume draw on case studies to outline the differential outcomes of climate action in American cities, also proposing a template for comparative work beyond the US. The authors tackle the debate about how justice is or is not integrated in climate action plans and assess practical implications, while also making theoretical and methodological contributions. As it fills a gap in the literature at the intersection of justice and climate action, the book produces new insights for a wide-ranging audience: students, practitioners, policy-makers, planners, the non-profit sector, and scholars in geography, urban planning, urban studies, environmental studies, ecology, political science, or anthropology. Along five axes of investigation―theory, resilience, equity, community, and comparison as method―the contributors offer various pathways into the intersection between urban climate action and different understandings of justice. Collectively, they invite a reflection that can lead to practical initiatives in climate mitigation, while also advancing the theorization of social justice to account for the urban as a node where (in)justice plays out and can be addressed with significant results.

Book Description
"A model city, the hope of democracy" – John Nolen on his suggested plans for Madison, Wisconsin This book connects John Nolen's political and social visions with his design proposals by analyzing his extensive writings, personal correspondence and some of his most significant works. While John Nolen is best known as a city planner, he trained as a landscape architect and used the titles 'landscape architect' and 'city planner' interchangeably throughout his career. A prolific practitioner, he was engaged in nearly 400 projects throughout the United States between 1905 and 1936, including town planning, industrial housing, state and city parks, new towns and regional planning. Focusing particularly on several projects central to Nolen’s career including Madison (WI), Mariemont (OH), Venice (FL) and Penderlea (NC), Beck investigates the ideologies that underpinned Nolen’s work. This is a rare look at a key figure in the development of 20th century American cities.
